Would love to get Bolasie back for 1 season on a sensible salary. You can tell from the documentary how much he loves Palace. I reckon he'd jump at the opportunity to come back. He's not the player he was, but I think he'd be a good influence to have in the squad - even if it's just ro keep his mate Zaha happy. I think he could still be a useful impact sub with the crowd behind him. With Eze out long term, we are still a winger short. Yannick could be our man. Strictly on a pay per play type contract he could be an option if we're still hunting around in a couple of weeks time if we had a squad slot spare - given age of Olise et al that could happen Injury history of course. It's been a time since he's been regularly fit for a stretch. But when he was fit last season his record at Middlesbrough was actually better than it was for us 10 years back in the champo. Reading around he was a hit there too. Top bloke. [Edit - they wanted him back but they couldn't reach his salary demands]

Literally just cleared the books of old, injured players on a fortune and you have suggested getting 4 back! They would cost £200k a week between them. I accept Yala purely for sentiment but the rest are complete trash.

I still think Yala could do a good squad job for lots of reasons. I also accept this comes from the heart and not necessarily the head. At the right price though he would be someone I would be over the moon to see back. Its a Palace thing!
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that. |

Maybe we can finally sign George Boyd and Ross McCormack.

Wouldn't work for squad cohesion. Only player I would take is Neil Taylor, very experienced left back. There will be times when we need to take Mitchell (and Hannam if/when he is PL-ready) out of the firing line.
Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it.. |

I accept Yala purely for sentiment but the rest are complete trash. No they are not. But are they better than what we have as back up - for one season - until the youth (hopefully) come through? Truthfully, do we need Mustafi when we have Kelly and Tomkins already kicking their heals? Sturridge could be a cheap option if he passes the medical. Brady is marginally the most attractive to cover LB and AM (i.e. Schlupp). However, Yala is the worst. Injuries, AFCON, age and need. Maybe Wilf would be even happier if he was in the squad? But he would have to join for buttons.
